England - Turkey [R]

[Motterman]

From Football365.com:


England could change their midfield formation against Turkey on Wednesday night – bringing in Nicky Butt at the expense of Kieron Dyer.

Reports suggest that Sven-Goran Eriksson will experiment with a diamond formation, pushing Paul Scholes further up field and moving Steven Gerrard towards the left flank.


I like this change. Anything to let Scholes roam up in support, knowing that Nicky Butt is back on defence is good news. It's both more cautious having Butt on defence and not Scholes and Gerrard having to keep dropping back, but free's up one of the two, and Scholes has good experience playing the slot position behind a striker. I say this because Heskey doesn't really count. ;)

Just kidding, he did well against Lichtenstein....once Becks sent him through with a delightful chip....and don't get me started on that free kick... :D

I think this is online aswell. Will have to cheak nearer the time.

Great!
Thanks man

Don't expect that 5Live feed to work for the game if you're listening in the US, Saturday's game was blocked, although the first half of the Australia game was broadcast before they blocked it so maybe you'll be in luck.

i looked for "909 am England" in Google and i came up with this link

http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio5live/live/surestream.rpm

its working fine
i dont know if it will be blocked though

Thats right. Some pathetic legal issues. Maybe whoever has the TV rights to the games has specified no radio aswell.

On a lighter note my local football pub has bowed to my requests to show the game and I've just got off the phone with my boss and agreed a half day. Beer and England in 2 hours time. I've even got my England shirt on.

(kerpow sings to himself) "Oh what a perfect day"

Just heard that Rooney is in for Heskey. Dyer also dropped with Butt playing the holding role and Scholes in attacking midfield position. Gerrard on the left, Becks on the right, Owen and Rooney up top.

I like it....

Only problem is Calamity is still in the nets...

[Motterman]

'kin hell.

I have to leave the office for 2 hours... bring it on home lads!

Come on England!!!

What are you talking about Wildman?

It is live on the BBC web site (radio) and there hasn't been any goals. April Fools day was yesterday.

OOps trouble.

Bit of arguing with the players, cards handed out

Okan booked.
Could get nasty this one.

[kevbrunton]

Beckham already got booked in the 8th minute after a clash with Okan.

[speedcake]

and the police having trouble with England supporters in the stands? sheesh

England desperately need to win this one. And from the sounds of things so far it could go either way.
